The college is officially closed on Sunday and Monday (February 13 and 14); however, students should still complete all Week 4 aqctivities. This week will be reading \u201cThe Lesson\u201d by Toni Cade Bambara, a story that is both funny and deeply serious. The story is written in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) rather than standard English. This will probably present no problems for most students; however, those for whom English is a second language may find the grammar and language a bit strange. I think you\u2019ll all agree that the use of AAVE adds realism, authenticity, and humor to the narration. Please be sure to complete Quiz 3 by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 19th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Please be careful when posting on the discussion board.
